The Song of the Butterflies (El Canto de las Mariposas)
(Peru/Colombia, 2020, 65 min.)
Rember Yahuarcani, an Amazonian artist from the Uitoto nation in Peru, left his community to pursue a successful career in Lima. Rember’s artwork is inspired by the myths and stories his late grandmother Martha used to tell him. These stories include the genocide of the Uitoto people during the rubber boom period. To find new artistic inspiration and understanding of his grandmother’s stories, he travels to La Chorrera, in Colombia, the original land of the Uitoto people. There he confronts the painful past of his people and understands why the stories of his ancestors cannot be forgotten.
